* Lysosomes are like the cell's recycling center. They are membrane-bound sacs filled with powerful hydrolytic enzymes.

* Food particles that have been taken into the cell.
* Worn-out organelles that are no longer functioning properly.
* Cellular debris that needs to be removed.
* Foreign invaders such as bacteria and viruses.
